Finally found the Patra Boutique Hotel, yay! Our taxi couldn’t come into the small road so we had to walk in from the main road where we alighted. For those of you who have missed my earlier post on How to get from Don Mueang Airport to Bangkok City Centre, click on the link to […]

Hello Bangkok! I was very excited to be back again for another eat-venture even though I was still feeling quite stuffed after spending one week in Hanoi. I actually went straight to Bangkok from Hanoi which wasn’t a very good idea as I should have given myself some time and space in between before embarking […]

Just when I thought I had summed up my Hanoi travel series with my last Hanoi Food Guide post, I realised I had forgotten to roll out this Hanoi Travel Guide in which I would be sharing 20 Things To Do in Hanoi, Vietnam. I was in Hanoi for one week and it was more […]

I first tried this boat noodle restaurant when I visited their outlet at Avenue K in KL last year (read my previous blog post: The Original Boat Noodle @ Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur) and I really enjoyed the food. In fact, I thought their broths for the boat noodles tasted better than the ones I […]

I was never a huge chendol fan previously until I tried what I thought was the best-chendol-ever at Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul in Georgetown, Penang last year. The one that I went to was a roadside cart in an alleyway which was also their first and original outlet. Today, it has expanded its business […]

We took the bus to AEON Tebrau City while in JB as we wanted to look for some new home decor stuffs in AEON & TESCO (in the building opposite AEON Tebrau City). Time to give our house a makeover – extra excuse to spend money, haha. At the same time, we planned to catch […]

Hadn’t gone in JB for quite some time so Hubby and I took the day off to go eat and shop. The currency exchange rate at the moment (RM316 <-> SGD100) is just outrageously good. I can’t help but compare prices between SG and MY all the time now and then I’ll think twice whether […]

My latest trip to Hanoi had been a fantastic experience. Probably because it was my first time in Vietnam. There were so many new things to discover & learn about as well as new eating places to explore and new & unfamiliar food to try. Vietnamese food has always been one of my favourite cuisines […]

Can’t believe this will be the last post of my Hanoi food-venture. Really felt like I had been in Hanoi for a long, long time. And I just couldn’t believe how much we had eaten while there because there were so many new stuffs to try. Amazing! We headed to Noi Bai International Airport to […]

On our last night in Hanoi, we decided to have dinner at Little Vietnam that was located very near to our hotel. In fact, we walked past it everyday when we were headed towards the main shopping/eating areas of the Old Quarter. And every time I would just stop for a minute or two to […]

While it was a pity that we didn’t get to enjoy the recreational facilities at Vincom Mega Mall Royal City because of the maintenance work and renovations, it wasn’t a wasted trip either because if we hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t have discovered this amazing bakery. I love bread. Nothing else excites me as much […]

Came across Vincom Mega Mall Royal City while reading the news so we decided to come here on our second last day to check this place out. VMMRC is about 7km southwest of the Old Quarter. The taxi ride (booked via GrabTaxi) from our hotel to here cost 80,000 VND (SGD5). Vincom Mega Mall Royal […]

It seemed as though we had been in Hanoi for a long time, so much so that we didn’t know what else to do or where else to go. And there wouldn’t be a better time than now to chill out in a cafe and at the same time, plan our itinerary for Bangkok which […]

John wanted to have supper at this fried eel shop that was packed with many locals. Must be pretty good as business was so brisk. But I was a bit hesitant because I’ve never been a huge fan of eels – not because of the way it looks (or resembles the snake) but I just […]

As I hadn’t come across a huge supermarket or hypermarket in the Old Quarter, I thought I would just stop by Lotte Mart at Lotte Center Hanoi when on the way back from the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Lotte Center Hanoi 54 Lieu Giai, Ba Dinh Hanoi, Vietnam From the museum, we took a taxi […]

Of all the places of interest I had visited so far in Hanoi, I would say the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is one of the most interesting. We spent a good couple of hours here because the museum collection is impressively extensive so set aside time as there’ll be lots to explore. Vietnam Museum of […]
